All Aboard? Diesel, electric and clean air: Which way forward?
The Toronto Board of Health is hosting a public forum on the proposed Metrolinx expansion of the Georgetown South transit line and the rail link from Union Station to Pearson.
The Board of Health supports expanded public transit as a way to reduce vehicle traffic, but remains concerned about health risks and air quality impacts predicted with the proposed diesel rail expansion.
Public Forum:
Date: Monday, March 22 Time: 6:30 pm - 9:00pm Location: Toronto City Hall, 100 Queen St. W., Council Chambers
